Mansville family surprised by earthquake |

MANNSVILLE, Okla. — Oklahomans felt the 5.1 magnitude earthquake. Our phones lit up just after 9 a.m. Wednesday as viewers told us what they went through when the quake struck. Meredith Saldana met with a family in Mannsville, Okla., who has more details about what they went through.

Brenda Morfitt and her daughter-in-law Shannon Forrest spent the morning together at the kitchen table, making tickets for the Mansville High School Carnival.

The morning was quiet, until the chandelier above them began to swing and the refrigerator began to shake.

“We were buying tickets and we started hearing a noise over there, and I asked her, 'What is that?' She got up and went and looked, and we started making jokes, and then she screamed from the bedroom, 'It's an earthquake,'” Brenda Murfitt said.

The scream came from Brenda's daughter, Krista Morfitt.

She was asleep when the earthquake struck but says she knew immediately what it was.

“I felt like the whole room was moving back and forth and the mirror was moving back and forth,” says Christa Morfitt. “I didn’t know what to think at first, but then I thought, ‘Oh my God, this has to be an earthquake.’”

Despite Christa's explanation, her mother felt the earthquake was unusual for Oklahoma.

“We didn't even go out to look. Like I said, we didn't believe it. I had no reason to believe it was that, because this is hurricane country,” Brenda Murfitt says.

“Well, the washing machine wasn't working, so I knew it wasn't the washing machine,” her daughter Krista adds. “So, I just had the idea.”

Although it was a scary situation for Texans across the country, it is now just a great story to tell.

“No, I’ve never been in an earthquake,” says Shannon Forrest. “I thought it was pretty cool.”

We also spoke with emergency management officials in Carter County as well as the city of Ada, both of which received reports of an earthquake but fortunately no reports of damage in either area.
